Commissions Cndemocraiic

The efforts OF the ci.izsas to have q
stree. and sewer commission, also an
election com mission, for the appoint
ment OF non partisan election boards,
do not meet with the same favor at the
hands OF the regular Democrats as did
the successful effort In 1888 10 fas en- q
Water Comm ssion and NUM- sipal
Court upon the people. Then Wa'er
90 nmission was first ins.igated by
only one Democrat and he boss who
b I'd lost his Office by the mu .ations and
changes In politics. The Rapu blicans
had carried the city, but through the
aid OF the Legislature, the Democr ats
made the Mayor scted but figure
head and gave back the control OF the
Water Department to the Democratic
boss that the Republicans had defe ,ted.
Commissions were popular enough then
when they we're supposed to work for
the advantage of the Democratic party,
bat since the Water Comm ssion has
become something else than aplan to give
hungry Democrats office, co 10 missions
are not 80 popular. The reform Demo-
Gratis who are now favoring commits,
sions fer the sake Of economy and good
government, find themselves confronted
and opposed by the men who favored
commissions four years ago. The
Water Commission has actually result
ed in . non. partisan administration OF
the Water Department, and because
every Rspu 6liean was MOI bounced and
Democrats pu. in their places, commits

Another great man OF the nation, II

death, and We doubt II there 10 . man
who viii be more missed from society
than Henry Ward Boecher. For forty
yesrs he has been focal point upon
which the attention OF this great nation
has been turned. He has been preacher,
politician and scientist, and his coun.
sells have had great inf aence In what
ever field he chose TO labor. The name
Of Henry Ward Bsecher has teen .

him hated In the South, rs IL made him

From . friend OF Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes and Garfield, he shifted around
20 the support Of Cleveland In 1884, aud
there can be ne doubt that through his
influence and support Cleveland was
elected. Mr.. Bsechsr's reputation and
character were jured by the Theodore
Tilton scandal. This was enough to
ruin any other man, but he had such a
deep hold upon the public mind that
the scandal still left him the idol OF
